    That is correct. And you're not the first person on here having experienced something like this that's why we did our paperwork ourselfs cause I didn't trust anyone with it. The orientation thing is pretty inconsistent tho as far as I have heard so it might not actually have been his fault (if it wasn't upside down lol). They literally told me on the phone that some officers want it one way and the others want it the other....not quite fair but apparently unfortunately the way it is

    Yea I saw that it happened to others I should have done it myself. I provided them with the correct documents and all they had to do was upload it right side up that's ridiculous

    I-130 Tax return filed as SINGLE

    Hello,

     

    I am US Citizen. I applied I-130 for my husband.

    PD is April 2018 Texas Service Center.

    I was reading and preparing for the next step of the application while waiting for the next notice. For the AOS for my tax return I have been filing as Single and not Married. The reason I filed as Single is that my husband is not here in US and never been. I read that it is a RED FLAG and it could denied my application. 😫 Anybody has a same situation as mine?? Could someone enlighten me?? 😞 

    Hello, 

     

    I was advised by my attorney to do the same. It is not a flag. All you need is a letter from your tax person stating that you had to file as single because your husband doesn't have a SS or can not get A ITIN. Your husband has to take this to his interview if it comes up. I haven't had any issues and we are waiting for an interview date. Good Luck

    My husband added his father as a joint sponsor but we received a checklist saying that we should add him as a household member. Does anyone know how are we suppose to remove him as a joint sponsor on CEAC website?  Or do we just add him as a household member without removing him as a joint sponsor?

    yea it shows on the homescreen. Just add your father in law.

    Well i'm the beneficiary, and ppl here have a big wrong perception about USA(they kinda believe u can find money or food in the street... or TV etc!!!)... Or all people up there make big amounts of money with not effort... but they don't know about all taxes.... bills...food.... and all work ppl do to accomplish that.... First time i visited USA was to miami and with training purpose and i kinda though the same! But now i know is not the same go to there for two weeks... going out everyday is just a tourist's life and not compare with the real life(everyday!!)! i will visit my fiancee next week and i'm really focus to see and learn about  the neighborhood, the lifestyle there, activities...  etc! so i can set up my brain to the whole scenario! 

     

    So i know i will have a big change(here there always are places to party everyday, beaches nearby and kinda u can do whatever u want(that is bad), but i'm trying to learn about my fiancee routine and life...

     

    Summary is good you and u fiancee talk about the topic, make examples.... normally beneficiary do a big change, like giving up promotions at work, be away of friends, family, lifestyles, routines, favorite places!  Ur language :/ ...its a hard process, Love can help u defeat everything but speaking ur mind! ..... about culture me and my fiancee see it like LEARN NEW THINGS and watch it from new perspectives.

     

    Good luck! and sorry for the long post!

    Don't apologize you have really good insight being the beneficiary, thank you for your input. Short or long its appreciated:)

    My wife came from a very poor area of Cebu.  She was surprised that we all worked 40 hours a week ALL THE TIME.  Don't get me wrong, she has adjusted very well and also works 40 hours a week now...hahaha.  Life is great!  We have a new baby and we couldn't be happier.  God bless you both and good luck, david 

    lol that's funny... Congrats on the baby and your new life:))

    to add to the actual topic - i am the foreigner and i have visited the US a couple of times before and my husband was not lacking in sharing how life is in the US prior to my move here but really, there are just a lot of things that one can only fully grasp when you have actually lived here! in terms of setting expectations, it helps if you both talk about finances in detail before the move and often and regularly after that as well how how things work in daily life. it will take a while but slowly and surely once he/she is here and all the pieces fall into place, those rose colored glasses will be off for good! :D

     

    That is so true. it would be nice if America was like a Hollywood movie

    Everyone has different perceptions, and it even varies within the states. My husband lived in the states before for his job at the time on the west coast. I live in the south on the east coast - VERY different, lol. He says sometimes it feels like he's completely brand new, that he hasn't lived over here before. So even if a non-USC visits a certain area of the states... if they live in/move to another area, it can still be a bit of a culture shock.

     

    I think that's one (of many) reasons someone should spend a lot of time visiting before embarking on the fiancé or spousal visa to essentially move here. And really try to have a realistic perspective and not a "vacation state of mind".

    Yes you are very right. The west coast is a whole different world from the south east. I'm from GA btw so I understand.

    I'm from Australia and I much prefer living in the US.  But that's because I prefer to live in a place where individual effort is rewarded and where I'm not taxed up the wazoo.  The US rewards me for my effort.  It's a nice change.

    That's true... I don't think any of us would want to live else where. This discussion is about how difficult it is for two people from two different cultures to come together and start a life. Thanks for you input!

    My husband was ill prepared for what life is like here, not from my lack of trying to explain to him. He couldn't understand why he didn't get all of his check, just the cost of things in general. Anything he knew about the USA, his friends who had just visited here told him. Of course i knew nothing lol  He told me after his first month here he felt more poor in the USA then in his country. Not to mention the cultural differences, but he does like that people drive much better here ha ha 

    It's hard to prepare them the only way they fully understand is when they r here
